if the "islamists" or "terrorists" are looking to win favor why would they release this tape now when public opinion is moving toward them? if nothing else it reinforces stereotypes of iraqis as "savages" and moves public opinion away from them and their cause.
the timing of the events doesn't make sense, and that's before you add in factors like conflicting stories and guantanamo-style jumpsuits on hostages.

You're going under the premise here that expects them to act logically and make sense.
These are people who voluntarily blow themselves up convinced that if they do so, they're going to go frolic with 72 virgins for the rest of eternity.
Logic and making sense doesn't really enter into that equation.
